Camcorders: Is infrared the same thing as night shot?




?


I'm confused... So, if these two things are different, how does the night shot work? I know that infrared detects heat.

Can you get camcorders with infrared capabilities under $100? I saw on bestbuy.com that you could buy an infrared attachment, but I couldn't find anything about the actual camcorders unless I went through each one individually.

Please dont provide links only, thats the only reason why I am asking this, all the other questions like this just had links only...



Answer
The only camcorder manufacturer - that I know of - that has a built-in infrared emitter for zero-light video capture is Sony. If the camcorder has NightShot or SuperNightShot mode from Sony, then it has a built-in IR emitter for zero light video capture. I don't know of any camera or camcorder that has this capability under $100.

what canon camcorders have night vision?

Look i really need a camcorder with night vision please please please help!


Answer
None really, they're just infrared sensitive. On the camera there's a small infrared light. You can't see it with the naked eye, but when turning on the night-shot, the camera's CCD becomes extremely infrared sensitive. The overwhelming majority of these cameras will operate about the same with only minor differences. Sony, Canon, and Panasonic have been longstanding with camcorders and will be solid choices.

Heh, there were complaints with one model of camcorder some years back. What had happened was that it was too sensitive. With that, people's privates would have a slight glow to them. the problem was fixed in later models.

A no shitter night vision attachment for a camcorder will probably be out of your spending range. But if it's not, here's one. ^_^ http://www.optics4birding.com/morovision-night-vision-adapter-canon-xl-camcorders.html
